Alright, can't say I'm too old..... I'm 26. BUT, I'm a newly wed, new home owner, and I found myself with over an acre of lawn and no way to cut it. Well, I would love to have new bikes..... but duty calls and I had to drop new bike money on this hog today. It really blows growing up and buying lawn mowers instead of new dirt bikes......

You should wait a few years before calling yourself old. And that zero turn for an acre is a choice. A push mower would be a good choice with enough left over for the bike.

Still it's your choice, and the most important choice is the very next one. Don't take them for granted, and build the life of your dreams. The best time of your life starts today!

I'm in the same boat except I'm 20 with 3.5 acres! I must say id rather have a house and wife than a new bike. Hopefully I can afford both soon

What's that Cub Cadet got for an engine? My old man has a similar one about 8 years old with a Kawasaki V-twin. He cuts about 5 acres in Georgia and It has been bulletproof so far.

I officially feel old as of three days ago. My 16 year old just got his drivers license, it was a scary feeling watching my baby drive off from the house by himself. I feel as though I have aged 15 years in the last three days worrying!! But, seeing my boy enjoy his Mustang GT warms me all over...

Dude, you gotta buy the nice bike before the wedding....Everybody knows that. Just got engaged to my girlfriend and picked up the bike that I could see myself riding it for years to come.

It has a Kawasaki engine, so it'll probably loop out on me

I'v nearly looped his out mowing straight up a steep ditch bank. Scary.

The Kawi should be good. I have seen several different engines on those but most seem to be Kawi or Kohler.

Kohler has a bad engine design a few years back, and they are looked down upon now.... buy I think they fixed their design. I just liked the KHI engine, much like Honda generators.. they just work

Been there, wait until he's 18 and wants to drive to FL for spring break. I made him give me his Apple pw so I could find him if he didn't call back! Getting old is not for the weak of heart, mind, or back!

Damn...I hadn't even thought of that yet. He's only been "legal" a few days, and already looking for trick parts for his car. I thought the cold air intake, and flowmaster exhaust kit would be enough....boy was I wrong! Gotta admit, I'm gonna steal your apple idea!!

You're correct, you're "getting old". You aren't old yet.

You will get older faster sitting on that zero turn though.

I got shirts older than you! However, I like the mower, and I like that you have put your priorities in order. Yes, that is proof of getting older. You'll get your new bike soon enough. We'll done, sir.
